FRISCO — Everybody is talking about climate change, but that palaver doesn’t always translate into action. Not so in Paonia, though, where community and climate activists will gather May 1-3 for the Western Colorado Climate Challenge & Solar Fair.

The three-day event features exhibits, presentations, and hands-on breakout sessions aimed at resolving Colorado’s climate crisis. Click this link for the full schedule. The Climate Colorado event site is here and you can also stay in touch with the event on Facebook.

The weekend opens with the Solar Fair at Solar Energy International and closes with a special Sunday matinee showing of the acclaimed documentary Merchants of Doubt, which exposes the climate denial movement as being funded by anti-environmental corporate interests.
